Shadows of Liberty presents the phenomenal true story of today's disintegrating freedoms within the U.S. media, and government, that they don't want you to see. The film takes an intrepid journey through the darker corridors of the American media landscape, where global media conglomerates exercise extraordinary political, social, and economic power. The overwhelming collective power of these firms raises troubling questions about democracy. Highly revealing interviews, actuality, and archive material, tell insider accounts of a broken media system, where journalists are prevented from pursuing controversial news stories, people are censored for speaking out against abuses of government power, and individual lives are shattered as the arena for public expression has been turned into a private profit zone. Will the Internet remain free, or be controlled by a handful of powerful, monopolistic corporations? The media crisis is at the core of today's most troubling issues, and people everywhere are taking action, trying to change the media monopolies' strangle hold on information.

| National PostChris KnightNone of these stories are new, but it helps to be reminded that news organizations (and the people who run them) are capable of errors of judgment, laziness or, as one interview subject puts it, "following the lead of silence." |
| User ReviewDaniel LReally good history on the deregulation and monopolization of media and how the government has taken advantage to control the narrative and keep citizenry less informed and in the dark on actual issues. Important viewing for anyone concerned with the state of modern media in the USA. |
| User ReviewRay SDocumentary explains how the news is for sale. News outlets depend on corporate advertising, so reporters become unable to freely report things that can affect the news organizations bottom line. Also delves into the relationship of big news and government. |
| User ReviewDylan LA Brilliant documentary on the U.S. media outlets and public propaganda! |
| User ReviewGardner HA film that examines how we get to know what "the truth" is seems more important than ever, with news outlets shuttering and being bought up left and right - not to mention the rise of digital infotainment. |
| User ReviewMary ONews sources in America have been taking over by conglomerates. And that's why you don't see any news that are actually important. Please see this. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |
| User ReviewDavid RExceptional, and extremely relevant. Everyone should see this, unless your happy being a mindless consumer - rather than an informed active citizen. |
